Anawhata Beach

New Zealand, New Zealand

Anawhata Beach, located on New Zealand's North Island west coast in the Waitākere Ranges near Auckland, is a remote black-sand paradise between Piha and Te Henga (Bethells Beach), accessible only by a steep 20-30 minute walk down an unsealed road and track from a clifftop parking area about 40 km (50 minutes drive) from central Auckland.

Renowned for its uncrowded, wild beauty featuring dramatic cliffs, clear Tasman Sea waters, rolling surf breaks suitable for all levels with punchy lefts and rights at Parera Point, rock pools, and the Anawhata Stream estuary, it attracts surfers, trampers, and nature lovers despite hazards like venomous bluebottles and strong currents.

This pristine, lesser-visited gem offers solitude for swimming, picnics, and exploration amid towering rock formations like Keyhole Rock, embodying Auckland's rugged west coast allure.
